SUSTAGLIDE


High-molecular and partially crystallised thermoplastic
Form-polymerised Polyamide 6

Properties

  • high absorption of moisture of up to 3 % in standard atmosphere
    Results: in increased impact resistance.
    Please note: In thin-walled parts, reduces the strength and dimensional stability
  • outstanding sliding and wear properties
  • permits higher loads and sliding speeds (up to five times higher limit-pv-value than with SUSTAMID 6G)
  • high mechanical strength coupled with high impact strength
  • excellent machinability
  • good adhesive properties
  • good weldability

Chemical resistance

Highly resistant to:
hydrocarbons, alkalis, fats, oils, fuels, ethers, esters, ketones
Not resistant to:
halogens, mineral acids and certain organic acids, oxidising agents

 

Field of application

Parts that call for exceptionally good sliding properties, particularly under high loads and at high sliding speeds.

Mechanical engineering

e.g. sliding parts, sliding elements, bushes
